Following Alec Baldwin’s social media attack on Daily Mail reporter George Stark, the deactivation and reactivation of his profile, and his apology to the LGBT community, it’s safe to say it’s been a whirlwind few days for this 30 Rock star.

Yet, in a recent interview, Alec candidly revealed that, given the Twitter fiasco, he’s learned quite a few lessons.

When asked if he had plans to return to the tweeting-database, the actor said:

"Never. No. I went to Jimmy Gandolfini's funeral, and when I was there I realized Jimmy Gandolfini didn't have Twitter.

Though Alec has in fact reactivated his account, he has yet to tweet a single post since.

He then added:

"Jimmy Gandolfini was so beloved as a person, and he was so admired as an actor, and he didn't give a f*** about social media… I really learned a lesson at the funeral. I said to myself, 'This is all a waste of time.' Meaning it's fun sometimes, but less and less, and less. It's just another chink in your armor for people to come and kill you. I stopped and said to myself, I'm going to try where I just don't do this anymore."

As for the concerns for his baby-on-the-way, he explained:

"I'm having a baby. And everyone has seen how certain things have played out with my daughter [Ireland], which has been very painful — it's been really unpleasant… That has consequences, and I do not want that to happen with my next child.”

Yet, it seems Alec dreams of a future in which he is no longer in the public eye, one in which he is no longer an actor. He continued to say:

“I have one dream in my life and that is that this daughter I'm having — she comes to me about seven or eight years from now, she has a friend, and she's at her house and she says, 'Daddy, Susie's mom says you used to be on TV. Daddy, is that true?' She has no knowledge of me as a public person. That would be heaven for me… I'd love to [quit acting] if I could, yeah… That would be the greatest thing in the world."

This guy is all over the place. But what a talent, both comedic and dramatic (Glengarry Glen Ross, or however it's spelled!). Instant communication (impulse control) is his downfall. That, and his underlying anger. And this should be such a happy time in his life. If he can't be happy now, when can he be? It's not tweeting that's ruining things, Alec…

I don't believe he would love to quit acting. I think he just needs an extended, relaxing break/holiday with no commitments. Hit some concerts, have some old time funz, call some old friends and go for beers. When he's recharged, he'll be keen to get back to it.
He sounds like he needs to unwind and destress. I love this guy on camera, and his wry and seasoned comedic turns and timing.

Ummm…so quit.Are you worried about paying the power bill?You have a talent and you have been well paid for it.Count yourself lucky.The media follows you and picks at you because THE KNOW YOU WILL FLIP OUT.You are not mature enough for social media.So what?Who needs it?You are not entitled to a life without compromise.WE ALL have to compromise on something.Get some therapy for yourself.No shame in that.Focus on being a husband and dad.

As we previously reported, Britney Spears' baby daddy has requested an increase in his $20K a month child support stipend. While it's said that Godney isn't THRILLED at the request, she's letting her poppa negotiate a deal with KFed.

And it appears that negotiations are well under way, though Mr. Spears is NOT impressed with his former son-in-law!
